Data facilities

Korax' core data facility is located in the secure, carrier-class data centre of Peer 1 Network at 151 Front Street West, Canada's premier telecommunications hub, located in downtown Toronto. Home to more than 150 telecommunications enterprises, it is one of North America's most connected buildings. As the primary Korax data facility, the key benefits include:

• Mission critical infrastructure for power, environmental control, and network connectivity.
• Redundant high-capacity UPS and generator systems to ensure continued supply of electrical power in the event of extended utility power outage.
• Enhanced round-the-clock physical security, video monitoring, and electronic access control to the premises.
• Easy access to a virtually limitless supply of Internet bandwidth.

In addition, Korax operates a secondary data facility at our University Avenue location, for increased network redundancy and backup/failover.

Network connectivity

The Korax network enjoys multi-homed high-capacity redundant fibre connectivity to the Internet backbone from both data facilities, with current bandwidth utilization peaking at only 15% of the total bandwidth available to the network.

Through TorIX, Korax has peering agreements with other large networks and major Internet service providers to allow for the quickest access, from the most locations, to the web sites it hosts.
